am i bottlenecking?

[SlaughterSmurf]

That's a real shame AMD. Come on, at least make your chip run cool enough not to throttle itself under the default cooler!

Well if they want a GPU to run at 5ghz, and they don't want it to cost $100 more than it otherwise would have, they have to.

[SlaughterSmurf]

yup

What price range?

I know, it's just a really inelegant solution.

Oh yeah totally, it really was never meant to be practical, it was more of a "Because we can" sort of thing for AMD.

Hey look everyone! We have a 5 jiggahurtzz prozessor! Come buys our stuffs!

Pretty much...

I really wish they'd do something radical.

 

All of their designs for the past four years or so have been absolute garbage. The only ones even worth mentioning are the APUs. They should make a high-end APU that runs in the FX socket and has insane onboard graphics like with dedicated VRAM or something.

AMD is for the low end user who wants a lot of bang for their buck, AMD does that. Look at the 760k, the single best budget CPU right now. Intel and Nvidia are for the people who are going to spend a bunch more money and pay a premium, but it performs better.

OP do me a favor and drop in a radeon R9 280X or R9 290 in that system ASAP

Except the G3258 kicks the 760K's ass when overclocked.

in SOME scenarios, not all of them...the tasks (games) that require more than 4 threads to be processed at a time are all better on a 760K.

I'd pick a 760K over a dual core pentium any day even if it's unlocked, you should do the same unless you play a lot of MMO's, RTS, RPG's and indies...those are mostly single and dual threaded games and the pentium will completely outperfom the 760K, but for modern AAA titles it's the other way around.

Yes, but it beats the sand out of it in single and double threaded tasks and games.

True.

True.

Get it? Sand? Because it's a silicon semiconductor? Oh nevermind...

ohhh that's so funny! :rolleyes:

i got a  h110

[lemon_squeeze]

What price range?

350 max

[SlaughterSmurf]

350 max

For AMD R9 280x (If you can stretch get a 290, but I know that isn't fee sable for most people) For Nvidia get a 770.

[dragoon20005]

get this
